Portal, the opening scene to Red Alert 3, um... I can't think of any more right now. In my head though, humourous games are always the best and serious games tend to bore me.
Monkey Island, Sam n Max, Day of the Tentacle are my favourite funny games. And will probably be mentioned by loads of people here.
TimeSplitters has always been great for humour, as has the Monkey Island series, but I think I really love the Mario RPG series simply because it is so smartly-written and the jokes are either brilliantly slapstick or intelligent enough in construction and content so as not to spoil themselves.
The Timesplitters series, Katamari series, Portal, God Hand and the Viewtiful Joe series have some funny moments.
Mario RPG and Paper Mario are pretty funny, too.

Armed and Dangerous!
There is absolutely nothing funnier in gaming than firing a huge, comically oversized gun with a fin on it to find that it will cause a "Baby Land-Shark" to go tunneling underground only to emerge full-grown in a burst of jaws and fangs right underneath a chimp trying to kill you with a longbow. Unless of course you count the equally hilarious "Topsy-Turvy Gun" that turns the world upside-down and causes all enemies to go flying into the sky and then come crashing to earth when you turn it off.

This has to be one of the funniest games ever. At least for an 11 year-old. I mean, the gun shoots sharks
Portal was great and funny, no doubt about it. Stubbs the Zombie in 'Rebel without a Pulse' was another great funny game: you go around eating people's brains while they stupidly scream something in the lines of "I'm too beautiful to die", can beat people with their own arms, throw your pancreas at people, it's just great! Armed and dangerous is brilliant too.
The Milk Man level. You know it if you've played it, probably the most a game has ever made me laugh.
"I am the Milk Man. My milk is delicious. It has what people want. What they deserve."

The Disgaea series was great! It mocked both itself and the genre, had exploding penguins you throw at enemies, and was just conceptually bizarre and unique. Not to mention the whole council concept that forces you to bribe demons to pass your proposals and if they disagree you can always fight them all to pass it afterall.
Another game that was always hilarious to me was Pikmin. you are collecting all sorts of wonderful "treasure" like bottle caps, pencil stubs, hand barbells, and everything else you could lug around. It just amuses me so.

Space Quest is (for me) one of the funniest series ever made. Because the graphics were limited they had to put an emphasis on dialogue.. and so you get hilarious stuff like this:
"My, this is one hot planet! But you don't care; you're protected with Thermoweave Underwear!"
"Narrator: You get the ladder and put it in your pocket. Ouch."
"So, how do you like the game so far? Was it worth the $59.95?"
And Curse of the Monkey Island had many moments that made me laugh a bunch, such as seeing a button in the options section that read "Enable 3D Acceleration". If you're as gullible as me and you press it, you'll get messages like "We were only kidding" and "No, really, there's no 3D acceleration in this game!"
